Planting Onions

Good Morning!
I've spent the last couple of days planting the garden (in between the much needed rain showers)! As I planted onions, I thought about the beautifully painted studies of onions that I was able to see at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Beatrix painted onions at Fawe Park during the summer of 1903 for The Tale of Benjamin Bunny which was published in 1904. If you don't know this story and the important part that the onions play in it...GO FIND A COPY AND READ IT (and look for the onions on page 31)!

We were able to see the garden at Fawe Park...but only through the fence boards as it is not open to the public at this time.
Here I am acting like a real tourist!


Today I will finish planting more beans and some flowers. None of Jemima Puddleduck's rhubarb can be planted until spring...she will have to find somewhere else to lay her eggs! Tomorrow I am off on a treasure hunt for old pickets, gates, and watering cans! Wish me luck!!!
Your aff friend,
Kathy Hawkins
